one second faster i technically would have wound up breaking the 8 minute mark since 20 seconds is a warmup.

#50: Learn how to read an EKG

Lots of reading, ok, I'm nowhere near being able to diagnose what part of the heart an MI has affected or anything, but i can identify the parts of the wave, what part is what part of the heart DOING what. I can identify STEMI, Bradys, Blocks, I know what the different leads look like.

I have to work on this more knowing what the "normal" ranges are for depressions, elevations, durations, abnormalities etc.

The Med Lieutenant and Tech on C shift are helping me....
